Continuing Education Contact Hours (CEUs)
CEU Credits:
NACSW, provider #1078, is approved as a provider for social work
continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB),www.aswb.org,
800.225.6880
through the Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program - ASWB Approval
Period: 1/27/15 - 1/27/18. NACSW maintains responsibility for the
program.
The final authority for approving any continuing education activity
rests with the state or province in which the participant is licensed.
Training participants are still responsible to check with their local
authorities to verify that convention offerings meet their
jurisdictional standards for continuing education credit and/or
licensure renewal. Even states accepting ACE approval may have
exceptions for courses they will approve.
NACSW is able to offer
CEUs for all workshop sessions, plenary sessions, and preconvention
institutes. NACSW is not able to offer CEUs for the following three
convention events: poster presentations, the Membership Meeting, and
Sunday worship. If you were to attend one preconvention institute, all
plenary sessions, and one workshop during each workshop time slot, you
would earn 19.5 continuing education contact hours.
Requirements to Receive CEU Credits:
To receive CEU
credits, an additional $40 registration fee is required. This fee covers
collecting and organizing session data, registration and tracking, CEU
booklet printing, and certificate administration. Attendees that
register for CEUs will receive a CEU booklet that lists each workshop,
preconvention institute, and plenary session eligible for CEUs for the
entire convention.
In order
to receive credit for attending a CEU-eligible session, attendees must:
-
attend
the entire session,
-
complete an evaluation form for that session,
-
turn
in the completed evaluation form to the session moderator, and
-
have
their CEU attendance booklet stamped by the session moderator.
CEU Booklet:
Attendance at CEU-eligible sessions is tracked through the NACSW CEU
booklet. At the conclusion of the convention, please deposit the
completed CEU booklet at the registration table. If you are not able to
deposit the CEU booklet at the registration desk, please mail the
